The goodness of raw cod liver oil . . . without the mess or fishy taste!

For generations, people have depended on cod liver oil as a whole foods source of vitamins A and D as well as healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids. Cod liver oil is known to support the bones, muscles, joints, eyes and more.*

But while its health benefits are appealing, its taste can sometimes get in the way . . .

How Rosita EVCLO Softgels are crafted

Instead of using nutrient-destroying chemicals and heat like most manufacturers, Rosita uses an ancient method that gently extracts the oil from the livers by mimicking the forces of nature. It's a method that was developed by the Viking druids and has been handed down through the generations. Rosita has continued this tradition on a small scale, compared to the big conglomerates.

First, after removing the livers from the fish, they gently expose them to near-winter conditions (like the cold waters where the fish swim). They then gently allow them to warm them up to just a bit above freezing. This gradual shift in temperature and pressure breaks down the liver cells. Within an hour or two, they release the oil with all its nutritional goodness.

In addition, tiny amounts of a carefully selected organic rosemary extract and full spectrum vitamin E is added to ensure freshness.

The oil is then purified using a natural marine material that absorbs contaminants like a magnet for easy removal. Then the oil goes through a series of paper filters. Each batch is tested twice to meet strict EU standards for export and to ensure they're free of heavy metals and contaminants.

Finally, this precious raw food is packed in fish gelatin softgels. By sealing the oil off from exposure to oxygen, the softgels protect the cod liver oil from oxidation. Oxidation cannot occur without oxygen - even when shipped or stored in extreme heat.

How the cod liver oil in Rosita EVCLO Softgels differs from most other brands

No heat: Our oil is raw and never exceeds room temperature! Every other cod liver oil manufacturer uses heat multiple times in excess of 300°. Even "cold-processed" cod liver oil gets superheated during molecular distillation and deodorization.

No chemicals: Rosita does not bleach or deodorize the cod liver oil.

Exposure to light and air is minimal: All work is done in a cool, dimly lit facility.

No metal ever touches the livers or the oil: As reactive metals can accelerate oxidation, even the knives used to harvest the livers are ceramic.

Not winterized: Most cod liver oil is "winterized", an industrial term that takes the oil to well below freezing to remove saturated fats, waxes and stearins that will solidify as it cools. Without winterization, Rosita oil keeps the full spectrum of nutritious fats and is better protected against oxidation.

And it's not fermented: With fermented cod liver oil, the oil is released after the livers have decomposed over a 6-month period. Rosita EVCLO is raw, fresh and produced within hours of catching the wild Atlantic cod.

Every step in how Rosita's cod liver oil is produced has been meticulously developed to minimize damage to cod liver oil's precious nutrient cargo.

Rosita goes beyond sustainability: They are the fishermen

To make good cod liver oil, you need to start with good healthy livers, harvested from good healthy fish, fished from good, clean waters.

And the only way you can do this is to know the fishermen who start the whole process.

Every liver that is used in Rosita Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil is harvested from fish the Rosita team catches themselves in the pristine waters of the Helgeland coast of northern Norway.

They come from a long line of fisherman!

They use only their own small fishing boats.

They inspect every liver for health and plumpness.

Every fisherman who fishes is part of the Rosita "family."

And every fisherman fishing for Rosita uses only lines – no nets.

Rosita doesn't make mass purchases from anonymous fishing fleets that have some industry created marine fishing counsel monitoring their activities. No. Just like when you know your farmer, you know where your food is coming from and how it's processed.

Rosita knows the fishermen as the fishermen are part of Rosita.

And every Rosita fisherman loves the pristine waters they fish in with all their heart, which have been near their homes for generations. Fishing sustainably is not just an idea. It's a way of life.

Further, when the Rosita fishermen return from each trip, they inspect each fish and liver individually. The livers are removed with a ceramic blade (not metal), and then quickly moved to the crafting facility overlooking the chilly waters, where the cod liver oil is made in small batches within hours.

"As soon as the EVCLO product became available, I ordered some. I noticed right away that it smelled, looked, and tasted fresh. This, together with Rosita's transparency and third-party testing, was enough to convince me to switch over to EVCLO and begin recommending it to my tribe."

"I'm thrilled to lend my support to Rosita. It's a wonderful product. It has a clean, light taste, NO aftertaste, and it is produced with transparency, by good people, in a matter I can truly support.

It’s fresh because it is bottled within 48 hours of the fish being caught in remote (read: clean) waters of Norway.

It’s wild. Rosita does their own fishing (know your fisherman!)

It’s raw because no heat, chemicals or mechanical processing is used to obtain the oil.

Here are the personal benefits I attribute to taking EVCLO:

My immune system stayed strong throughout the winter.

My keratosis pilaris didn’t return. It often flares in the winter, and it didn’t this year.

I had no issue taking EVCLO during pregnancy. The other brand is – well – pungent, and could be difficult for anyone with food aversions to take. There’s hardly any fishy flavor, and none of the odiferousness of the other “fermented” brand.”

Ingredients

Shipping Info

This product is shelf stable, does not require refrigeration and will be sent to you via UPS or FedEx Ground shipping that includes tracking.

Please note that in high temperatures (such as 78°F and over), Rosita softgels may clump together. This does not harm the product; just let the bottle cool on the counter and then gently shake.

We take pride in making sure your orders are handled with the utmost care, and arrive to you in a timely manner.

Storage/Dosage

Storage:

To maintain the Rosita softgels in the best possible state for the longest time, keep your softgels in dark storage at room temperature - ideally ranging from 58°F to 78°F (15°C to 25°C).

Short temperature excursions either way have a minor impact. Cold temperatures over prolonged periods of time can increase permeability of the gel and so they should not be refrigerated or frozen.

The shelf life of Rosita Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil softgels is two years from the production date.

Dosage:

Adults: 3 softgels daily or as needed, with food. (90 capsule bottle will last 30 days)

Children and sensitive individuals: Begin by taking 1 softgel daily with food, and increase if needed. The softgels may be punctured with a pin and the oil expressed into mouths of young children. Best taken with food.

Infants (4 months and older, as approved by doctor): 1 to 3 drops daily as needed. The softgels may be punctured with a pin and the oil expressed into the mouth of an infant. Best taken with food.

Pregnant and nursing mothers: Do not exceed more than 3 softgels daily. Take as needed. Best taken with food.

Important: The supplements we carry are premium, pure and potent. Therefore, it’s critically important to start slowly, with a lower dosage than recommended. For example, a very small dose every other day, or even once a week, until you can determine how the supplement affects your body and what dose feels right for you.

Frequently asked questions

Rosita Extra-Virgin Cod Liver Oil is exactly the same regardless of the form you choose to purchase. Both the softgels and liquid have a full spectrum of omegas and fatty acids, high levels of vitamins A and D in the their natural, unadulterated form, and are raw and fresh.

In terms of the milligrams per bottle, the liquid is much more economical. At roughly 1/2 a teaspoon a day, the liquid will last you two months where the softgels will last you a little under one month.

The Extra-Virgin Cod Liver Oil must be kept refrigerated because once the bottle is opened, the oil is exposed to oxygen and has the potential to oxidize. The small amount of rosemary and Vitamin E. that is added to the oil, as well as keeping it refrigerated, help to slow down this process. On the other hand, exposure to oxygen is not a concern with Rosita Extra-Virgin Cod Liver Oil softgels because the oil is kept encased in the capsule. In fact, long term refrigeration of the softgels will actually increase permeability and so is not recommended.

Rosita EVCLO is most unique in its production. 99% of all cod liver oil production is created using processes that severely damage the vitamins inherent in the oil, such as freezing, winterization, degumming, bleaching, and deodorizing. Because the fragile nutrients in the oil are destroyed during this time, most of the producers will then fortify it with synthetic vitamins and market the oil as natural.

Rosita is able to produce an oil without these harsh processes. Using an old Viking technique for extracting the liver oil without the use of heat, pressure or chemicals, Rosita is able to capture the nutrients in their raw and unadulterated state.
Rosita itself is a company of integrity and they monitor the entire production process, from catching the fish to bottling the oil. They use only small, private fishing fleets and catch the cod by line to encourage sustainability of the fish and reduce by-catch. Only the species Gadus Morhua is used, which by many historical records is the most healing of all the cod. It is only caught in the pristine and clean fjords of Norway and is never frozen (in fact, the fish is used immediately and the oil is produced within 48 hours of catching the cod). The oil is produced in a facility specifically dedicated to creating fish oils so there is no worry of cross contamination. This entire process was well thought out; 2 years of research went into creating the perfect antioxidant package alone, and a packaging method that would ensure the oil stays fresh even as it travels from Norway to other parts of the world.

So while there are a multitude of cod liver oils on the market to choose from, there is only one cod liver oil that is made fresh and raw from wild- caught Atlantic cod. Rosita EVCLO is in its own special category. Discerning customers who understand the significance of a fresh cod liver oil on their health are passionate about EVCLO.
